Dirt Roads Adventures: T’wis The Week Of Christmas
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.
Hey friends,
It’s hard to believe Christmas is this week. Last week was packed with so many activities, and this week will be no exception. The week began with a wonderful Bantam Rooster Rockin’ Christmas Concert at the historic Sunset Theater. Brad and I had not been in the renovated theater since the remodel, and we enjoyed reminiscing about our first date there. Then on Wednesday, a girlfriend gathering and lunch that lasted most of the day. LOL
The week ended on a bit of disappointment. I had my doctor’s appointment to learn the results of my CT scan on Friday and didn’t get the news I was hoping for. Although I know it could be worse, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the situation and the future of my Healing Journey. You can read more details in My Healing Journal.
We are still trying to enjoy the holiday season and attended a wonderful Christmas party at our dear friends’ home on Friday night. It really helped to be around so many loved ones. I hope you will make the most of each moment this Christmas. Our days are precious, and we want to make as many good memories as possible.

This morning I am reminded of Isaiah 43:2 and how the Lord is always with us. May you and your family be blessed this Christmas knowing that you are loved and redeemed.

I love the old doors and windows they really add to the charm and character of your house. The door with the chalkboard is perfect. I heard someone once say ” Let go and let God”. This is the season for miracles pray for discernment and understanding. Have a blessed and joyful Christmas and try to get some rest. Hugs.

I’m so sorry you didn’t get the “all clear” on the cancer; but it’s so good that you have options and a course of action going forward. I truly believe that a positive attitude is the #1 best medicine along with faith. I know you have a lot of people praying for you, and you can add me to that group. Have a Merry Christmas!
